We have not had a problem with the read more button for the blog failing to turn off since Dec 2010. May I ask for confirmation of the Striking and wp versions you are using? Also a page link would be helpful, and is this on your main blog page or when you have input the blog shortcode to create a blog list somewhere else in your site, or both?

In your blog shortcode, do you have the following as part of the shortcode:

[blog imageType...... read_more="false"....]

Also i recategorized your post - you left it in 'striking" which as per the forum guidelines, is a header category not to be used. I also added a more functional title.

I am using the Wordpress default blog which calls the archive.php page. This can be found at http://go.htsdesigns.com/pianokeyz/?cat=1. Everything else I modified under Striking -> Blog worked on this page except for Read More. The specific code is:

Sorry, but "remove the text read more in the blog settings" isn't working (as also the "display read more"-setting..).

Moreover I would like to use the "read more"-link () instead of using excerpts - but this is also not working. On the blog page I'm always getting the same: an automatically created and text-limited excerpt (if there is no special excerpt).
